| Abstract | Here we present processed hourly subsurface temperatures from Underwater Temperature Recorders (UTRs) located at a depth of 4m off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa, between 06 July 1993 and 03 November 1993. At selected sites around South Africa, UTRs have been used to obtain long-term records of bottom temperature in the nearshore environment, at depths ranging from 2m to 34m. Note that for some deployments, two UTRs were deployed to simultaneously record bottom temperatures. |
| Methods | A subsurface-mounted UTR was deployed at a depth of 4m off Mosterts Hoek (34.1978°S 24.7688°E), along the east coast of South Africa. The instrument(s) measured hourly temperature(s) readings between 06 July 1993 13h00 and 03 November 1993 14h00. |
